    Can anyone recommend the above? I was thinking cineworld perhaps, but unsure if it's reserved for movie ticket holders.

    Only be in town for about an hour or two anyway, so money isn't a big deal. Anywhere really. How much are we talking actually? :pac:

    Any on street parking after 6/6.30 when it is free will do.

    Use your cop on and park in an area which is busy for security reasons. Along the quays, Capel Street etc..,

    €2.70 per hour in the Cineworld car park. There are side streets around there to park for free. Some after 7pm. It's really just a case of keeping your eyes peeled. Busier on Thursdays and weekends.

    There is also a 24 hour car park in the Royal College of Surgeons

    On street parking ftw. Car parks are extortionate.

    Be careful, some areas have paid parking until about midnight. I think all the after midnight paid parking is gone.

    Definitely go for somewhere where there is pedestrian traffic and isn't too quiet.

    I have no problems finding a space on Drury Street or South William Street after 7 during the week. Actually, I usually have no problems at the weekend either. I'm with WindSock, car park prices are ridiculous, so I usually circle around that area until I get a space on the street :D

    You might get lucky on Chatham Street or Dame Court/Exchequer Street too.

    If you can't find any on street parking, you've loads of car parks around. Stephen's Green, Drury Street, Brown Thomas.

    Okay, Cineworld is 24 hours parking

    Brown Thomas has 24 hour parking

    Drury Street has parking until 12am

    Stephens Green Shopping Centre has parking unilt midnight

    Lilac Centre car park closes at 7pm

    Not sure about the times for Arnotts or Sentanta but there is a website you can check the times of the carparking in the city but for the life of me i cant remember.

    i will try and think and come back to you

    Royal College of Surgeons car park is great. It's open 24 hours, and has a pre-pay rate after 5pm (€5 in total for the night, 5pm - 11am).

    It's normally 2.90 an hour (as far as I remember) so even if you're only staying for two, it's better value to prepay. It's bloody great value if you're staying for a long time, and I think it's a little safer than leaving your car on the side of the road.

    Just bear in mind that a car park with an overnight rate doesn't necessarily mean that the car park is open during the night. It may close at 1am, for example, and open again at 6am.

    are people here on drugs? Most on street parking is free after 7. And very few are until midnight, mainly residential. Hardly city centre

    That has been brought to the OP's attention but 'money isn't a big deal'! ;)

    I'd say the car being there when you come back might be a plus.
